Recordari

A writ in vogue in North Carolina to bring up the proceedings of a justice of the peace into a court of record. It is an adoption of the English vrrit, Recordari facias loquelam (q. v.). It is used to review matters apparent of record, or when the remedy by appeal is lost without the fault of the party, its general nature and scope being similar to that of certiorari. See 65 N. C. 211; 82 N. C. 236; 89 N. C. 198. RECORDARI FACIAS LOQUELAM (Lat.)

In English practice. A writ commanding the sheriff that he cause the plaint to be recorded which is in his county, without writ, between the parties there named, of the cattle, goods, and chattels of the complainant taken and unjustly distrained as it is said, and that he have the said record before the court on a day therein named, and that he prefix the same day to the parties, that then they may be there ready to proceed in the same plaint. 2 Sellon, Prac. 166. RECORDATUR (Lat.) An order or allowance that the verdict returned on the nisi prius roll be recorded. Bac. Abr. "Arbitration," etc. (D).

To be recorded. Recordari facias loquelam. That you cause the plaint to he recorded. A writ formerly in use to remove a suit in replevin from a county court to a superior court. ^ In North Carolina the writ of recordari secures a new trial of a case heard before a justice of the peace, and a reversal of a judgment erroneously rendered by him.' Recordum. A record; a judicial record. Prout patet per recordum. As appears by the record. Abridged prout patet, and prout. A formula for reference to a record. A writing either admitted or rejected as evidence, and excepted to, should appear in the bill of exceptions by a prout.*
